Inferring ecological explanations for biogeographic boundaries of parapatric Asian mountain frogs [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2018 Background Identifying and understanding the mechanisms that shape barriers to dispersal and resulting biogeographic boundaries has been a longstanding, yet challenging, goal in ecology, evolution and biogeography.

Genetic structuring across marine biogeographic boundaries in rocky shore invertebrates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Biogeography investigates spatial patterns of species distribution. Discontinuities in species distribution are identified as boundaries between biogeographic areas. Do these boundaries affect genetic connectivity?

Zooplankton biogeographic boundaries in the California Current System as determined from metabarcoding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Within the southern California Current ecosystem there are two well-documented breaks in marine community structure at Point Conception and Punta Eugenia. We explored the presence of similar breaks in a diverse zooplankton community through metabarcoding

Biogeographical boundaries, functional group structure and diversity of Rocky Shore communities along the Argentinean coast. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We investigate the extent to which functional structure and spatial variability of intertidal communities coincide with major biogeographical boundaries, areas where extensive compositional changes in the biota are observed over a limited geographic ...
